acw28:First off, part of the reason we placed certain people in certain villages as references to other aspects of the Marvel Universe or where they match thematically. Example, Tony's village is tech focused so science themed heroes would fit in his society.
Doom got multiple wives because Doom is awesome.
Doom has always had a slight thing for Susan. And in several alternate universe scenario's he is married to her
Strange is his subordinate as a reference to the most recent Secret War, where he worked for Doom. Cho meanwhile is because of him the sort of person Doom would want to work for him.
Carol and Natasha have had at least flirtatious dealings with Tony in the past. Also they where originally from other villages. It is a simple alliance formula. He gets a bride to carry on his line, he agrees to take no aggressive action towards the village and even supports the other village with technology
And this chapter was just setting up these other villages, we will be getting more in depth with them as Peter arrives.
Plus we DO genuinely ship the two. And in any universe where they are together, they are happy. Heck look at the Renew Your Vows universe as a perfect example for this!
Again, that chapter was for set up. I thought it was obvious as Peter is setting off traveling at the end of the last chapter. It is so you all know the backstory so we can expand on it later.
And that question will be answered in this first village arc
Dragonrule: Unfortunately we have not had the chance for this story to be the focus it should be. Partially because it does not seem to be as popular as some of our other fics.
Spawn Hades: Doom is the most neutral party there is.
Here are some reviews answered by Ghost:
Anarken Mad Bancho King: Glad you like it.
Spawn Hades: That's what we're aiming for.
Dragonrule: Here you go, BOOM!
acw28: One word: Illuminati. Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme and worked under Doom in Secret Wars when Doom was God-Doom. Cho is the eight smartest human on Earth (I think, I don't know if they updated it) and sees the potential with Doom in charge. Reed has been known to mess up on occasion and ALL in big ways.
With Tony, yes, we made it a bit more cartoony but this IS a pastiche of a certain ninja manga/anime and anime IS over the top.
We just find Logan is a better match than Scott...Have you SEEN his history? I know Logan's is no better, but he tries more.
Ah, fair enough. It IS a pain to log in via phone.
Have a good read.

Chapter 8:
First Village, The Village of the Atom
Peter and the women were traveling to one of the neighboring villages; MJ had her sword in her lap and on hand. They had already passed through several minor villages, mainly relaxing "Mary-Jane, you don't have to have your sword out." Gwen whispered
"I am ready for anything." She said simply
"Makes as much sense as anything." Cindy answered
KNOCK KNOCK!
"Yes?" Peter asked as he opened the 'window'
"We are nearly at Xavier Village." Jess informed
"Thank you, Jess." Peter answered
"Of course, My Lord." Jess nodded with a small blush, going off to keep an eye out
"Thank you." Peter closed the window and sighed
"That is good." Scorpion smiled from her mini-cell like extension to the carriage
"Yes, she is." Peter answered. "Comfy enough?" He asked
"I am, thank you." Their 'prisoner' nodded
"Good idea, bringing her with us." Mary-Jane answered
"Of course, I couldn't leave Scorpion on her own." Peter responded
"Plus it 'proves her loyalty'."
"True." MJ nodded
"Whoa!" The carriage driver halted the horses making the passengers wonder what was going on.
They were at the gateway to Xavier Village
"Here we are, My Lord and Ladies: Xavier Village." The driver spoke
"Halt." The guards called, walking towards the carriage
"What business have you in our village?" One of the guards asked
"Hello." Peter nodded as he got out of the carriage
"Lord Parker." The guards spoke to attention
Peter noticed a figure near the gates disappear, guessing the person was going to tell Xavier and... Magneto?
'Magneto is a leader here?' he thought in slight shock, having forgotten to 'look into' his memory like this
"Peter, welcome to our village." Eric spoke respectfully. He and Xavier flouted down, standing on a metal disk
"What brings you to our humble abode?" Xavier asked
"... May we speak in private please?" Mary-Jane asked sadly, getting out of the carriage as well
"Of course, Lady Parker." Eric answered. "Please come in."
Jess unlocked the cell, Scorpion coming out while Black Cat stuck close to Peter
"Ah. So it's not a social call." Eric commented
"I am sorry, but no." Peter shook his head sadly
"Well, come on in. We'll talk." Charles Xavier answered
They nodded and followed, the Spider crew following the leaders of the X-City towards their village mansion "Wow...It's amazing." Cindy and Gwen whispered, seeing the city.
Scorpion was being escorted by the guards and trying to be a model prisoner/guest. Peter and MJ where looking around, trying to spot everyone they knew. There was Scott, Jubilee, Bobby, just some of the more familiar faces. They soon reached the mansion, going to their office where a red head in a green outfit was waiting
'Jean.' Peter thought as he saw her.
Jean's long red hair was tied back in a braided ponytail, her green outfit covered her slender body, concealing her D-Cup breasts and wearing white socks "Welcome." Jean bowed slowly She was Xavier's advisor and the one protecting their village
"Hello, Jean," Peter and Mary-Jane acknowledged the telepath with respect
The rest of the group bowed, the Spider natives sitting down in front of Magnus and Xavier's desks "Now, I assume that you're here because your village has been attacked, Lord and Lady Parker." Eric spoke
"... Sort of." Peter sighed
"There's another reason?" Charles asked
That's right." Peter nodded
"I am sure you to have heard that our daughter has not made any public appearances for months." Mary-Jane said, clearly upset
"Yes, we're aware of that." Eric answered
"... she was kidnapped." Peter sighed
"Kidnapped?" Xavier asked in shock
"Yes." Peter nodded sadly "We have done our best to look for her ourselves but... we are now expanding our search. We... we need help."
"Anything we can do to help." Charles spoke
"Agreed." Magnus nodded
"Thank you, both." Mary-Jane sighed in relief
"Thank you so much." Peter nodded, a smile of joy on his face
"Jean and I will help look for her via our telepathy." Charles added
"I will... Contact my family to keep a look out." Jean said sadly
'Her family?' Peter thought quietly. He was drawing blanks at that thought
"Thank you, Jean." Mary-Jane answered as Peter was taking his time
Jean smiled, her eyes showing a similar pain that MJ felt. MJ looked at Jean and felt that hurt in Jean's eyes and sympathizing with her. She understood what happened
"I noticed your 'guest', that you've brought with you." Eric spoke, continuing the talk
"Just some traveling companions." Peter nodded
"Ah, very well. Well, I'll prepare some beds for you." Eric answered "I'll have a hotel ready for you by tonight."
"Thank you, Eric." Peter stood up and shook his hand once again "Thank you both."
"Of course, we leaders have to do what's best for each other and our people." Eric answered
"Peace is preferred to war." Xavier nodded
"Isn't that the truth." Peter quipped
"The streets and businesses are open for you to visit, Lord Parker." Jean added
"Thank you." he nodded with a smile
The group left the office to the outside where Scorpion was still sitting in her carriage. It was where several X-Village guards where... Well... Guarding her
"Hmm..." Scorpion whispered in worry, thinking that she was doing something wrong.
"Hey." Peter smiled, pulling her to her feet
"Hello, My Lord." Scorpion spoke respectfully as she got to her feet. She smiled gently up at him
"Will you need an escort, Lord Parker?" A Xavier guard asked
"No, I've got my guards." He said, not liking how he had to 'talk down' about his friends
"Understood." The Xavier guards answered, backing off before they walked away
"My Lord." Black Cat and Jess spoke appearing from the shadows
"Well, let's look around." He nodded
Black Cat and Jess nodded, going ahead while keeping their master in their sights.
"... Never been to another city before." Gwen smiled
"First time for everything." Cindy agreed. "It's the same for me."
Peter smiled sadly, nodding "True."
"Peter, it's alright. We're here." Mary-Jane reassured her husband
"... You gonna talk to Jean?" Peter asked, knowing what she was thinking
"Yes. I could see it in her eyes, she's in pain." MJ answered "She has lost a child. She lost family."
"I understand. Go talk to her, we'll be alright." Peter answered
"If you're sure." She nodded, adjusting her sword
"I'm sure. I trust you." Peter kissed her gently
"I trust you." She smiled
*Time Skip*
Mary-Jane was walking through the streets, looking for Jean 'Xavier village is quiet, it's nice.' Mary-Jane thought 'But also almost militaristic, or like a school. Somewhere in between.' She saw some older teens going about the village just being teens, though they were wearing a red "X" on their left breasts. Every student had at least one X on their clothing 'Must be the crest of the village or something.' Mary-Jane thought to herself
That was when she spotted Jean
"There you are." MJ sighed and went to her. "Jean."
"Huh? Lady Parker?" she blinked
"Hello, may I talk to you?" MJ asked
"Of course. How may I help you?" Jean asked
"Well...I was wondering if I could help YOU." MJ answered "... can we speak in your house?"
"Y-Yes. Of course." Jean stuttered and lead MJ there
It was a small, simple house. However there was some nasty writing on the walls from graffiti and some people had thrown food at it
"Oh my god..." MJ frowned as she went inside.
"Please, come in." Jean frowned, opening the door...or what was left of it. She was CLEARLY annoyed but also accepting. Mary-Jane frowned, she knew that this was wrong, but how could she help? She couldn't think that right now, she was going to talk to Jean. She followed her into the house which was neat and well kept "Please, sit down. I'll make some tea." Jean spoke gently
"Thank you." Mary-Jane nodded
Jean went into the kitchen leaving Mary-Jane on her own; MJ was sitting patiently and waited in silence, just listening to the sounds outside. She saw pictures all over the place
Pictures of her.
Pictures of a black-haired man.
Pictures of children.
Two children. One elder male, one younger female
'Are they...Jean's children?' MJ thought 'And I think that guy... Is that Logan? They look...Happy.'
"Here we go." Jean smiled
"Oh, thank you, Jean." Mary-Jane answered, taking a mug of tea "... What happened to them?"
"Beg pardon?" Jean asked, trying to deflect the question.
MJ pointed at the pictures "Your pain is just like mine." She nodded
"I...Yes. Yes, it is." Jean whimpered
"What happened?" Mary-Jane frowned
"Hmm...That...that's difficult to-" Jean tried to answer
CRASH!
"Gah!" MJ jumped "Oh...Not again." Jean frowned
"WHORE!" A voice shouted before footsteps raced off
"What was that?" Mary-Jane asked
"Vandals. I...I try and ignore them." Jean answered, her hands tightening close on her own mug
"Vandals? I... Jean. What happened?" She frowned
"A lot." Jean sniffed, trying to hold back her emotions "My husband... Logan... Was our village's greatest warrior. But he got mind controlled... He killed so many villagers. Children and warriors alike. When he finally came back... Back to his senses... He... He HAD to be punished. It was like... Say... Getting into a fight when you are drunk. You still did it, even if you are not in your right mind. So he exiled himself. And my children, who share his mutation, went with him."
"But you stayed." Mary-Jane whispered, shocked and appalled at this. Who could've done this to them? To Jean and Logan?
"I had to." She nodded
"Jean." MJ reached out and gently held her hand. "You can tell me anything. I'm here for you."
"I... it just hurts so much." she cried
MJ frowned, letting go of Jean's hand, putting her drink down and hugged Jean like a sister. She held her close, rubbing her back "It's alright. Let it out, Jean. It's okay to cry." Mary-Jane whispered "It's okay."
"I miss them." Jean cried
"I know. I know." MJ nodded
"What do I do?" Jean sniffed
"... live." MJ whispered sadly
"I've tried." Jean answered
"Then try again." Mary-Jane answered "You CAN do it. I know you can."
Jean sniffed sadly, trying to compose herself. "Alright...Thank you, Mary-Jane."
"From one mother to another? It WILL get better. Slowly." MJ nodded with a smile
"Alright...alright, thank you." Jean smiled weakly "Thank you."
*with Peter*
Peter, Cindy and Gwen were currently exploring the city, they were eager to see the sights. Peter was curious on what everyone's lives where like. He was hoping it would be like the Xavier Mansion back in their original world... it did almost seem like this "What's wrong, Peter?" Gwen asked
"Just...Remembering." Peter answered "Old friends and all that."
"Must be nice." Cindy answered
"It...It was." Peter nodded... And then he walked into someone "Oomph! Oh, sorry." Peter apologized
"No problem." The person answered. It was a brunette with a strange glasses, Peter recognizing the guy as Scott Summers
"Scott." Peter blinked, shocked to see Scott Summers as a young adult
Scott was wearing a dark blue kimono with a yellow trim, wrapped around his waist was a yellow sash; his glasses were tinted red and held snug around his eyes. His brunette hair was held back and neatly trimmed, he seemed younger than Peter. In his early twenties or so "Yes, that's me... Oh, you're Lord Parker from the Spider Village." Scott answered
"Yeah." He nodded, noting something was... 'weird' about this Scott
"It's nice to meet you." Scott nodded... as he removed his glasses... To reveal brown eyes!
"GAH!" Peter flinched, ducking down.
"L-Lord Parker?" Scott asked as he looked down as Peter ducked him
"Err...Y-Your eyes. No lasers?" Peter asked, looking back at Scott and got back up
"Huh?" Scott blinked
"Um...S-Sorry. I err...Don't you have laser vision?" Peter asked
"Yes." He nodded "I can control them."
"...And now, I feel like an ass." Peter deadpanned but you could understand him "So...Yeah. Okay. Brown eyes..." Peter spoke. "Sorry."
Scott shrugged and walked away
"I guess in the other world, he has laser vision?" Gwen asked as Scott was out of ear shot.
"Yeah..." Peter nodded "He couldn't turn it off."
"Thus the flinching." Cindy nodded
"Yeah, those lasers are ALMOST as strong as Logan's Adamantium claws." Peter added
*with the Authors*
"Scott can't turn his eye beams off in cannon because of a brain injury." Grey said
"I...I honestly didn't know that. I thought it was like a 'once on always on', sort of thing." Ghost answered
"Nope. He hit his head as a kid which stops him from turning them off." Grey nodded "Which is why when Rogue absorbs his powers SHE can turn the eye beams off."
"...Huh. More you know and all that." Ghost answered
"Yep." he nodded "And his eye beams aren't lasers. His eyes are portals to a 'punch dimension'... and I am not going to keep talking as otherwise this will go on forever. Pn with the story."
*back to the story*
"So, do you want to continue looking around?" Gwen asked
"Yeah." Peter nodded
Little did they know, Scott pulled out a small vial from his clothing and rolled it around between his fingers
